Lego Star Wars sets get big price cuts in Walmart’s massive sale

By

May the force be with you all summer long, and here’s hoping you take advantage of one of these amazing Lego Star Wars deals. It’s just one of many Walmart deals you’ll be able to grab this week during the big Walmart Deals Sale, and the offer extends to two different Lego Star Wars kits: The Emperor’s Throne Room and the Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor from The Mandalorian.

Lego Star Wars: Emperor’s Throne Room was $100 — now $80

The final act of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi features a monumental battle between Luke Skywalker, the infamous Darth Vader, and the dastardly Emperor Palpatine. The 807-piece kit comes with three Lego figures, two lightsabers, and two bolts of Force lightning for mean ole’ Palpatine. We’re also big fans of the Death Star window element and the Emperor’s rotating throne. And once you’ve completed the kit, you’ll be able to festoon it with a fancy 40th anniversary ROTJ plaque! We’re not sure how long this sale is going to last, but while it’s in effect, you’ll be able to take $20 off the normal selling price of this popular battle scene diorama.

Lego Star Wars: Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor was $100 — now $80

The Star Wars series is renowned for its land and space vehicles, and this super-cool Lego kit is an excellent representation of the latter. Taken from The Mandalorian streaming series, this 957-piece Lego kit allows you to build some pretty cinematic recreations of the Fang Fighter and TIE Interceptor ships. When complete, the cockpits of both vessels open up to allow a minifigure to be placed within. You’ll also get two spring-loaded shooters (one set for each ship), along with a handy weapons storage compartment for the Fang Fighter. At the time of writing, you’ll be able to save $20 off this Lego kit when you purchase through Walmart.

There’s no denying the immense popularity of all and anything related to Star Wars, so we expect these cool Walmart deals to go pretty quickly. So if you’re interested, it’s best to take advantage of these promos while you still can. Again, that’s $20 off the Emperor’s Throne Room and Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor sets when you buy through Walmart. We also recommend checking out some of the other Lego deals we found this week.

lenovo legion y740 15 review 14

As laptops quickly came to dominate the PC market, computer makers have worked to slowly but surely shrink the gap between gaming desktops and their portable backpack-friendly counterparts. Today’s best gaming laptops have come a long way thanks to this ongoing trend of more powerful and more portable computer hardware. Along with top brands like Razer and Alienware, Lenovo -- mostly known for its business-focused ThinkPads -- makes some of the best gaming laptops on the market today, and now’s your last chance to score a post-Labor Day discount on the excellent Lenovo Legion Y740 that can save you hundreds.

Our review team picked the Legion Y740 as the best gaming laptop that you can buy for less than $1,500 (specifically the 15-inch model, although other variants run on similar hardware), with our roundup citing the excellent performance that these laptops provide for the money. These discounted models belong to the new generation that Lenovo redesigned in 2018 and come loaded with laptop variants of Nvidia’s latest 16- and 20-series GPUs.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch
father and son playing video games

Console gaming has really blown up in the last couple of generations, but there are still quite a lot of folks who have been waiting to buy a new console when availability increases and prices go down. Luckily, there are some great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, even if some of them include refurbished models. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite console deals and bundles and collected them down below for you.
Xbox Series S 1TB -- starting at $349, was $380

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

The Steam Deck has ruined console gaming for me
The Steam Deck OLED on a pink background.

When the Steam Deck first launched, I was a skeptic. I loved the idea of Valve's handheld PC, but thought that its low battery life and frequent bugs would limit how much I used it. Since then, the device has only gotten better (especially thanks to a significantly improved OLED model) and it has eaten a bigger chunk of my gaming time since then.

But I didn't realize just how much it was outright replacing my consoles.
